Ἑλένης μὲν ἀπωλόμεθ' εἵνεκα πολλοί͵
σοὶ δὲ Κλυταιμνήστρη δόλον ἤρτυε τηλόθ΄ ἐόντι.

 

In this sentence we have:

* Two words in nominative case (πολλοί, Κλυταιμνήστρη),  a genitive case (Ἑλένης), an accusative case (δόλον) and two words in dative case (σοί, ἐόντι) - all in singular number, except of πολλοί. There is also a vocative case (which our text lacks and which is not, properly speaking, a case). We will talk in more details about all of this later, but we must know now what's the use of any case - what is a case.
